Front Seat System

The front seat belt system includes the following components:

^ The driver and passenger seat buckle-side belts are attached to the floor panel inboard of the front seats.
^ The driver and passenger seat retractor-side belts are attached to the floor panel.
^ The driver and passenger seat retractor-side belts are attached to the roof panel (coupe only) or to the body lock pillar reinforcement (convertible only).

The driver's seat belt system includes a seat belt switch in the driver seat buckle-side belt. The seat belt switch controls a reminder lamp and a tone alarm. The reminder lamp and the tone alarm will not operate when the following conditions exist:

^ The driver's seat belt is buckled.
^ The driver's door is closed.
^ The ignition switch is turned ON.

The following events will occur when the driver's door is closed and the ignition switch is turned ON, but the driver's seat belt is not buckled:

^ The tone alarm will operate for 4 to 8 seconds and then turn OFF.
^ The reminder lamp will operate until the driver's seat belt is buckled, or until approximately 1 minute has elapsed.

Refer to Wiring Systems in Body and Accessories in order to diagnose a failure of the reminder lamp or the tone alarm.
